THE
VISION
Through the Center for Christian Leadership, We want to see a growing
number of Christian leaders who are adequately equipped, spiritually
mature, and socially relevant by seeking to provide them an ongoing,
non-formal education in an atmosphere of mentoring relationship
that promotes personal growth. THE
STRATEGY
The non- formal set-up of CCL is intended to supplement rather
than compete with existing formal training institutions in the
area. Its flexible programs and schedules are designed to accommodate
those who have difficulty fulfilling the requirements of a formal
school.
CCL is also maintaining a study center and library for pastors
and Christian workers in Cebu City, and a retreat/training center
in a farm in Ubay, Bohol. We also offer counseling services for
individuals and married couples as part of our ministry.
THE TARGET
1. Lay people who are holding positions
of leadership in the church, and who want to be equipped in doing
the ministry.
2. Existing pastors who have had formal biblical training but
fell the need for continuing training.
3. Churches wanting to avail of special seminars/training packages
for their members.
4. Existing pastors who may not have undergone formal biblical
training and would like to earn a certification in any of the
programs offered by CCL.

TESTIMONIES
* The lessons, group sessions, and the book readings were confronting,
challenging, and compelling. To sum it up--- simply life-changing!
(Ariel Sagaoinit, PSALM/OM Volunteer)
* A friend of mine upon knowing that I am taking biblical counseling
classes quips to me, “You have been pastoring and counseling
for many years, was it not biblical at all?” It was just
a joke but it made me ponder how I dealt with people who came
to me for counseling. In these sessions I learned the true essence
of counseling based on the Word of God . . . contributed by people
who have a real experience in life as counselees and counselors.
(Ptr. Romeo Vilarta, Shalom Christian
Center Senior Pastor)
* This program is a bittersweet journey for me. God used this
course to expose my depravity – the ways I manifest it in
relationships, and to awaken my dignity – like becoming
aware when it is being violated. As a result, I have become more
sensitive to the ways I violate other people’s dignity as
well. (Elvi Pajaro, Navigators Staff)
* God used the classes to force me to deal with issues in my life
that I have managed to ignore in the past. He allowed me to discover
that there were many things I didn’t know and understand.
I feel like a child again who is less sure of herself and seeking
to be guided by the Father. I learned to listen more than talk.
I learned that my worth as a person does not rest in my academic
achievements, because God loves me no matter what. (Laura
Pla, IVCF Staff)
